Chapter 1337: The dark tide is surging
Click, click-
Andy's indifferent face was constantly illuminated by the flashing lights one after another, looking at the reporters who blocked the road, the obviously provocative questions ringing in his ears did not make him angry and angry.
"I'm sad that GE's stock price fell below a dollar, in a sense, after all, GE is a great company full of legends, I just didn't think about when, such a great company would become so vulnerable...
I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I've come to think that in the simple capital markets of the past, conglomerates, or you could call them cross-industry enterprises or multi-business groups, used to be able to give investors efficiencies that they didn't get from the capital markets.
At some point, these large and complex conglomerates were actually operating partly as mutual funds with active management strategies, while also playing the role of private equity investors.
Are the deal-savvy managers capable of managing all the business? Once investors start to wonder about it, these conglomerates are rapidly declining. In the sixties and seventies, we loved these kinds of businesses. And then we hate them.
If GE wants a brighter future. So, it's time for a change and a return to tradition!"
Everyone present was a little confused about Andy's words, but this did not prevent them from listening quietly and recording it, without explaining whether he was a short-selling force, nor clarifying the contradiction with Buffett, but very sensibly helped GE point out the problem and change the direction.
"Warren and I are friends, and I agree with what he said, investment is to invest in the country, and investors should be patriots. And I, even now, have always been full of confidence in the US economy and future, and have always firmly believed that the US market-oriented mechanism is the inexhaustible driving force behind its economic development.
That's why I'm based on knowing the roots of investing in the United States, so I'm more willing to invest in industry than to play some capital game!
I prefer real assets to the financial markets where the drums are beating, because they can create real value, provide more jobs, give me a sense of entrepreneurial achievement, and create more jobs for the American people, which is also the foundation of a country's economic prosperity, and I will continue to focus on industrial investment.
I regret that I couldn't meet GE's requirements in the case of NBCUniversal's merger, because any business needs to be a fair and win-win situation to reach a cooperation, not a one-sided benefit to the other party.
Although there were many problems and differences in the previous negotiations, in the face of GE's current situation, I am also willing to lend a helping hand and restart the M&A negotiations with the other party, and I also hope that they can get out of the predicament as soon as possible, complete the transformation of the business portfolio, and make GE great again!
Thank you... ”
As soon as Andy's voice fell, the bodyguards and the building security quickly separated the group of reporters and cleared the passage, Andy led a group of people to leave quickly, quickly got into the car, and did not pay attention to the reporters who were still shouting and shouting various questions.
"It's wonderful, I'm a little surprised boss your investment philosophy, after all, this is the golden age when finance is king and the Internet is king. Robert Rhodes, the royal barrister who was traveling in the same car, looked at Andy with a faint smile and said with some emotion.
"Hehe, I also have financial investment companies, and there are several Internet companies, but I really don't have much interest in the capital game, the capital game for me, is just a temporary means of coincidence, stock speculation is like beating a drum to pass flowers, wealth is only redistributed and not increased. The end result is always that money is transferred from the gullible to the deceived, and there is always no shortage of victims. I prefer the sense of accomplishment of creating wealth to that!"
Andy said with an indifferent smile on his face, compared with the ethereal money number game, Andy still feels that industry can bring him more security and a sense of steadfastness, in fact, this can also understand his thoughts, after all, it is a strange way to come to this world, no matter what, there is a kind of insecurity whether everything is illusory in the subconscious, and the ups and downs of the financial market, getting rich and going bankrupt is just a fleeting thing is too much.
A pair of big long tui overlapped to prevent Amar from walking away, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, a pair of big eyes fanned to look at Andy who was sitting opposite, and his heart was full of admiration and admiration for his employer, it was really a wonderful morning, impressive, and the new boss showed all kinds of things, which also made her sigh that Andy was worthy of his name.
Andy's words in the interview quickly spread with the Internet, and he did not respond angrily because of the targeting, provocation and accusation of various media, and what he explained. Instead, he sincerely gave advice to GM and was willing to lend a hand.
What's more, Andy Smith appeared and used his own example to prove that 'his friend' Warren Buffett's words that "investment is investment in the country, and investors should be patriots", and also made everyone realize that Andy Smith, a super-rich man, is really a 'patriot' who has been marching into industry, creating more jobs, and prospering the American economy!
Watching the latest news reports on TV, Warren Buffett looked gloomy, took off his black-rimmed glasses, frowned, his eyelids jumped uncontrollably, and his angry fingers trembled and wiped his lenses with a glasses cloth.
"Shameless!"
Although Warren Buffett cursed at the first time, it was more of a suffocating and speechless bitterness, dumb and dumb eating yellow lotus, unable to say bitterness, his own words that were intentionally aimed at him were easily used by him to make a footnote to his investment behavior, which became the best proof that he is a patriot!
Seeing the report, Andy's relatives and friends, and the women all laughed out loud, and the original worries were swept away, and he was really a bastard!
All kinds of pursuit and worship of Andy Smith, a conscientious and socially responsible entrepreneur who suddenly appeared on the Internet, are overwhelmingly occupying all kinds of news comments and forum messages, and all of a sudden, on the Internet in the United States, there are several industrial companies in the United States that have suddenly become the only standard for measuring patriotic investors...
"Haha, I like this kid, I see my own shadow in him, he is an atmospheric, bold thinker, a very good son-in-law, I like him! ”
With a proud sweet smile on her face, Ivana looked at her own man on TV who was calm and talkative, listening to her father's happy and smug laughter and praise words that put gold on her face, and couldn't help but glance at her unreliable father. Unconsciously put his hand on his lower abdomen, the red chun opened lightly, and the white teeth shone brightly.
In the office of the CEO of General Electric headquarters, Jeff Immelt frowned, hung up the shareholders' inquiry call with a wry smile, which no longer knew that he had received several board members' inquiry calls, in just one morning, he felt extremely tired, although the stock price has regained its stand at $1, however, the general electric stock that has become a sieve has lost the trust of investors in a short period of time, lost the favor of Wall Street, and has become a laughing stock after people's dinner.
"Knock-"
"Boss, Andy Smith just had an interview in London... The little secretary walked in quickly, and then picked up the remote control as he spoke, turned on the TV in the office, and called up the news station.
“。。。。。。 In the face of GE's current situation, I am also willing to lend a helping hand and restart M&A negotiations with the other party, and I hope that they can get out of the predicament as soon as possible, complete the transformation of the business portfolio, and make GE great again!"
"Bang!"
"This shameless bastard!" Looking at the TV, Andy Smith's calm and handsome face, facing the camera's high posture of 'I don't remember the villain', Jeff Immelt slammed the table, and became furious, his eyes burning with anger.
Bell Bell Bell –
Just as Jeff was furious, the phone rang again, and Jeff grabbed the microphone, his anger was not well controlled, and his tone was slightly stiff.
"Hey, I'm Jeff Immelt... However, without saying a word, Jeff squeezed out a trace of an embarrassed smile on his originally iron face, and explained with a dry smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Brennan, I just watched Andy Smith's interview... ”
"Oh, have you seen the news? Well, since he's still interested in M&A, let's restart negotiations, he's right, it's time for us to make a change, get the deal done as soon as possible, we need to get renewed trust from investors and Wall Street, the current stock price is unacceptable to anyone... ”
The expression on Jeff Immelt's face kept changing, the hand holding the microphone was bloodless, his muscles were bruised, and his lips were a little trembling, but in the face of the decision of the person on the other end of the phone, he could only say in a hoarse voice bitterly: "But it's all him... ”
"Is there any proof? Now what we need is cash, good news, for the GE share price to rebound, not to hold us accountable for who is shorting us, for shareholders and investors to reduce their losses, to get through the storm first, and then talk about the rest, if you feel embarrassed, I'll let someone else take responsibility, as for Andy Smith, hehe... ”
Listening to the laughter of the glooon, Jeff's face twitched, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "I won't let you down!" As soon as his words fell, the phone was busy ringing, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he slowly hung up the phone.
